Any help in this question would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know if my wife/kid can fly on a ZED fare without me being present? Does it depend on what airline they fly on, etc? And lastly, what is a good website for this type of info, if there is one. Sorry, don't usually go the ZED route so it is unfamiliar territory for me.

If you work for NWA you are now a Delta employee and you should look at the Deltanet web site for info on ZED. The policies are pretty much carried over from the NWA ZED program. But basically, your family can travel without you on a ZED ticket
